^^Sieze the Crown!: The Anarchy of Stephen and Matilda 
^
Autumn A.D. 1139. The Empress Matilda lands in Arundel on the 
south coast to press her claim for the throne of England. Although 
she is the only surviving child of Henry I, the last undisputed 
King of England, her cousin Stephen has seized the crown - supported, 
it must be said, by the majority of the great Barons of the land, 
who do not wish to bow the knee to a woman.
^
Recommended: The Bigod, de Bohun, Neville or de Lacy families.

For a different sort of challenge: Plantagenets or Scots
^
Not designed to be played - but playable: King Stephen of the de Blois family
